what it is

What lies below, above, elsewhere, out of the corner of your eye. Ghosts of the past, present and future. Disordered senses and realities. Spectrums of colour. Shadows and reflections. The other, the dream, the illusion, the beyond, the marvelous. The ooky, gooky, mysterious and spooky.
